Dennis Quaid and a Rockin’ kitchen

It’s Friday, and the Dish is Back! (BTW - Love, love, LOVE Rachael’s outfit today!) After two weeks without it, Lara is back from a trip to Egypt where she was part of a press trip for the movie Jumper. She even did a BSLD - A breakfast, Snack, Lunch and Dinner video for us in downtown Cairo. After a quick story of almost getting in trouble for filming the snack portion in front of the sphinx, it’s time to get to today’s dish!

Today’s dish included the Burton Sleeper Hoodie, which has pockets to hold a sleeping mask, toothbrush, keyholder and change, and an inflatable pillow on the neck AND pit zips - it’s all you need on a plane for your next long trip for $100.

The mini hot iron from Warren Tricomi - heats in 3 minutes to keep your hair smooth and lovely on the road for $90.

Sally Hershberger Hair Products - Stylist to the stars now has a mainstream line at Walgreens, all for less then $15 bucks.

Mark Jacobs T-Shirts are raising money for NYU Cancer Institute, Protect the Skin Your In - this is what Posh Spice recently posed for, and the t-shirt David Beckham has been seen sporting round town.

And, last but not least - Michael Jackson, 25th Anniversary of Thriller CD! Hit the Giveaway button on the sidebar there and enter for a chance to win back part of our childhood!

He cooks, he sings, he’s easy on the eyes, he’s a fantastic actor - he’s the complete package… Dennis Quaid is up next to join Rachael at the Kitchen Table. He does a lot of the cooking in his house, especially his specialty, Gumbo. He talked a bit about his kids - his son is an animal, and he’s already promised his daughter a pony and anything else she might want. They touched on the medical overdose that hit the news so soon after his twins were born. He thanks everyone for their thoughts and prays, and feels they had a big factor in his kids’ recovery. They will be starting a foundation to help make the public aware of what questions should be asked and how to make sure the same things don’t happen to you. (Website coming soon)

Dennis is currently staring in Vantage Point, where he plays a secret service agent, which he says is a childhood dream. Upcoming projects has him staring with Ellen Page in Smart People. Of Ellen he says “I think she’s the next Meryl Streep. She can do anything.” He loves doing all genres, because he never could keep a job for longer then 3 months without getting bored - this way he can finish a film in that time and move on to the next one. He’s also working on GI Joe too! He does joke that he winds up in the ER on most action flicks, because he’s really clumsy, not because he takes big chances.

He plays in a band, the Sharks, where he plays in bare feet because it makes him feel like he’s just jamming out in his living room. He also likes to do charity golf tournaments where they raise money in order to bring kids from their countries where they can’t get help, and treat them here in the USA.

Time for another Cool Kitchen, and KC goes down south to see a Kitchen done in the style of a 50s Diner. Doing the renovations himself, it took Randy Kohrs (who recently won a grammy!) about 3 years to complete the kitchen in Nashville. His pot rack is a bumper from his car - waste not want not! I’m a little disturbed by KC saying “Completely pimpin’” but the kitchen itself is very cool. Not to be outdone, Kristan has her own DIY for a double-duty pot racks - hers is made from an upside down coffee table!

Today’s February Favorite is the Xbox 360 and SceneIt - hit the giveaway button on the sidebar down there for a chance at your own, and then it’s a plethora of goodies for an Oscar Party - or any fun occasion. Asian Tuna Sliders, Wild Mushroom Beef Sliders, and Ritzy White Pizza.
